It’s easy for the media to score points by railing against debt-collectors — but these people are just doing their jobs, and are working off long lists that don’t give details.

Don’t blame someone for trying to collect on a legitimate debt or contract that was agreed to of one’s own free will.

Soooooooo, after how many calls to the parents do they actually get enough of the details?

I agree. I do blame them for trying to collect from me instead.

Well let me join the chorus of those decrying the tactics of the debt collectors.

I have repeatedly had collectors calling my work asking for various persons;they are not supposed to call the debtor's employer;and having several callers ask for the same person after the first was told NOT to call,is annoying.

A pox on these collector callers.

If the greedy businesses didn't promote loose credit they might not need so many collectors.Constantly promoting the purchase on credit of big ticket items by small income people is the root cause.
